--- Comment #3 from Krinkle <krinklem...@gmail.com> 2011-04-12 22:06:44 UTC --- Fyi: This request (alteast the way I intended it) does not suggest to deprecate any tables (including categorylinks) at all. A central, effecient, clean categorylinks table is perfet (aggregated to only contain the current status, which it does now). However, if you would want to go that route (I didn't mean to suggest that, but it's an interesting thought nonetheless), it doesn't have to be a problem: -- example start -- Article [[Page]] was categorized in Lorem and Foo. In Foo it is sorted under "Mysort". mw_revision: * example row of an edit that changed categories rev_id: 123 rev_text_id: 120 rev_comment: "Re-categorized [removed: [[Category:Foo|Foo]]; added: [[Category:Bar|Bar]] ]" // comment is like the nulledits for changing protection settings rev_props_id: 8 mw_magicpropsthingtable: prop_id: 7 | prop_type: categorylink | prop_val: 'Lorem' prop_id: 7 | prop_type: categorylink | prop_val: 'Foo' prop_id: 8 | prop_type: categorylink | prop_val: 'Lorem' prop_id: 8 | prop_type: categorylink | prop_val: 'Bar' -- example end -- While writing this I just realized the sortykey would have to be stored as well, and also that this value doesn't have to be indexed, only retrieved when needed. So it may be better to use a single row [1] and serialize it into a blob: mw_magicpropsthingtable: prop_id: 7 | prop_blob: serialize(array( 'categorylinks' => array( array( 'Lorem', 'Mysort' ), array( 'Bar', ''), )) prop_id: 8 | prop_blob: serialize(array( 'categorylinks' => array( array( 'Foo', '' ), array( 'Lorem', 'Mysort'), )) The prop_blob would a multi-line text (like log_params) or serialized php (like old_flags, as example above). -- Krinkle [1]: This would also solve the problem with getting an id for prop_id, it can be an auto-increment now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
